Kafirs seeing Allah on the Day of Resurrection

352

Q 1: Is not Allah's Saying (Remember) the Day when the Shin shall be laid bare (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) and they shall be called to prostrate themselves (to Allâh), but they (hypocrites) shall not be able to do so. Evidence that the kafirs (disbelievers) will see Allah (Exalted be He) on the Day of Resurrection?

A: Allah's Saying (Remember) the Day when the Shin shall be laid bare (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) and they shall be called to prostrate themselves (to Allâh), but they (hypocrites) shall not be able to do so. Points to the fact that Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) will expose His Leg on the Day of Resurrection in a manner that befits His Majesty and Eminence - as indicated by the authentic Hadith - and that only the believers will see Allah (Exalted be He), but not the Kafirs or the hypocrites whose Kufr (disbelief) is more severe. Allah (Glorified be He) says: Nay! Surely they (evil-doers) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day. (Part No. 2; Page No. 381) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
